YouTube: Watch, Listen, Stream

Most of the apps on this list share a common theme: they’re not entirely free. For the most part, you’ll need to pay for a subscription to access all of the classes the apps have to offer.

But if you have a really tight budget or don’t want to spend extra money when you’re starting out, a platform like YouTube might be better for you.

As you probably know, YouTube is the biggest online video platform in the world, but it’s also one of the most used search engines worldwide, and for a good reason.

It doesn’t matter what type of skill you want to learn; chances are someone on YouTube is already teaching it. You can find developers, copywriters, data analysts, and many more professionals teaching their classes for free on YouTube. Sure, you’ll have to sit through some ads, but it’s worth it if you don’t have the money to buy an actual course.

Of course, not every video on YouTube will be useful, but the platform does a really good job of putting the best and most watched videos at the top. From there, you can explore the channel or the comment section and see what other people think about the class.

Can you find better places to learn a new skill? Surely! But YouTube is a great place to start without spending a penny.
